Yup, which is why Jim's desktop is a good method (I thought I was the only one who ever did that!)
Now-a-days I just use the resolution settings that most high-end video cards give you quick access to in your taskbar. ..:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.

Windows borders are actually outside the visible viewport, and the window is resized so that the client area fits the entire viewport. So, you should give yourself a few extra pixels.

The IE developer toolbar will resize IE to most common sizes with two clicks (or, via a dialog, any size). The developer toolbar for FireFox offers the same functionality. I still tend to go low-tech and use a background image on my desktop with guides for several sizes but that's just me.
